I wouldnt say that, I have been on and off with Linux, never a main rig setup, but my most recent stuff is spending hours trying to get certain things to run on my steam deck which I was told absolutely could not run on my steam deck (I showed them)

I would get so much shit for this 😂 I’m tempted

That sounds super cool! Unfortunately I’m a student again so we don’t have the money for extra machines, I do have my mini pc but it’s currently a dedicated jellyfin server

While I’m here, I might as well figure out one for me, I usually stick to gaming and graphic design programs since I’m an artist. but honestly I do anything under the Sun and whatever my whims fancy so flexibility is a must

I will say right now unfortunately she will not be touching the terminal, that job will be placed squarely on me when something doesn’t work, I’m fairly comfortable in that environment at least if not that syntax

Now hold on, everyone else is saying bazzite is built for gaming but did you just say it isn’t or did I read that wrong?

She’s definitely a gamer, currently working through AC shadows and horizon zero dawn I believe

I do believe her stuff should be immutable though, that would be a horrible experience for her and could make her want to run back to windows

Bazzite keeps sounding better for her needs tbh

I’ll be honest I tried zorin and it looked too much like MacOS for my tastes

I think you misunderstand, neither of us use Linux currently

Yeah I ran it up on distrosea and was surprised how intuitive it already looked

Because Id rather pick people’s brains than go over a spreadsheet, it’s like telling someone to Google something, that may work for you but some of us place value in the varied opinions of others

I mean from what you’re telling me I’d imagine cinnamon, but now that you mention It, wasn’t there a website dedicated to showing off the different desktop environments?

Okay yes, but tell that to 15 year old me who was absolutely AMAZED that you could just… Route the Ethernet through the electricity, frickin magic

I tried to figure that out, but it is a little confusing

Yes, I did, I do not apologize. Fuck big streaming. I only redownload if the size is too big however, finding the “exact” correct codec is just kind of a pain in the ass.

Fixed thanks

Is that an option? It was my understanding anime stuff typically comes with several subtitles and in my case dual audio for each episode

So I did actually find and turn on quick sync, there’s still a bit of a delay on the problem show, but it’s like 30 seconds rather than a minute, weirdly though where it was saying “playing directly” earlier, it’s now giving a subtitle error, it’s fine since I’m not using subtitles but still was something I noticed

Disk usage is actually alright, but CPU usage hovers at a straight 100

I’ve tried handbrake before, unfortunately the system DOES NOT have the horsepower to handle it, as in a batch of 30 episodes if I recall would have taken about 3 days

As for the system itself here’s the spec sheet !
